    Just installed Steeda Upper and Lower Control Arms, (tips and tools)

    Maybe we are just miscommunicating here. I was under the impression you were stating that it doesn't remove the rubber bushing from the differential housing but, now it sounds like you are just saying it doesn't remove the rubber from the metal shell that encases it and that I will agree with...

    Can I run a breather on the driver's side?

    The driver side gets fresh air from the air tube coming from the airbox, you shouldn't need one there. Here is a link to my install. http://forums.modulardepot.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62746&highlight=separator

    Would removing my K&N Air Charger improve my Mach's gas milage?

    Unless there is something wrong I seriously doubt you will see an improvement. Are you seeing abnormally low mileage? Have you cleaned the K&N filter? Is it possible your MAF is contaminated with the oil from the filter? That would cause problems. You can clean the electrode in the MAF with...

    rear end problemo

    The rear end comes from the factory without a gasket under the cover and I have always done mine with Permatex Ultra Blue without any leaking whatsoever. It is a matter of personal preference I guess. You should be able to find Permatex Ultra Blue at any auto parts store...

    Just installed Steeda Upper and Lower Control Arms, (tips and tools)

    Did you look at the .pdf for the MM instructions I just posted? This tool is designed to remove EVERYTHING. It takes multiple steps but, with this tool there is absolutely no need to drill out the rubber bushing. Here is the link I posted, take a look at step 10. You will see there...

    Just installed Steeda Upper and Lower Control Arms, (tips and tools)

    Here are the instructions for the MM Bushing removal/installation tool. Haven't used it myself but, many others have said it is invaluable. I would imagine if you had problems with it that possibly you weren't using it correctly as many people seem to have nothing but praises for how easy it...

    180 Degree Thermostat Question

    This is a common myth that needs to be busted. Cooler temperatures do NOT mean less wear, quite the opposite. The tolerances in the motor are designed for a certain termperature and running the motor at a cooler temperature changes those tolerances increasing wear. Add that to the fact that...

    Tire Pressure for 315's

    I am running 245/45/17 BFG KDW but, I generally keep them at 35 psi all around. It has been the best pressure to get even tread wear, anything less causes the edges to wear faster. Try bumping the pressure up a few pounds and see if it helps. Did you go with the Bullitt suspension or are...

    Tire Pressure for 315's

    I recall your previous threads asking about 315s. Did you go with 17x10.5" rims?

    Best Wax???

    I have tried about a bazillion products. NXT would be a great starting point for you. It is really easy to apply and remove. This is only part of my "stash" :)

    180 Degree Thermostat Question

    You probably won't see any problems right away. The issue is the added wear that comes with running the motor at colder temps than it was desinged for. It isn't gonna happen overnight. I am curious why this seems to be so popular. Does anyone have any real data from dyno runs that show what...

    Best Wax???

    Ohh man that is a loaded question. What are you looking for, do you want something inexpensive that you can pick up at the local auto parts store or are you willing to spend some bucks and buy something over the internet? There are a wide range of products out there. One thing that will...

    180 Degree Thermostat Question

    Here is some info on cooler thermostats that you should really consider. There is a reason Ford chose the temperature they did for the thermostat. On a mostly stock motor I wouldn't mess with a colder thermostat.

    Check coolant light?

    Sounds like a pocket of air is trapped in the system. Watch your temperature closely. Here is Ford's procedure for bleeding air from the system. Bleeding 1. Select the maximum heater temperature and blower motor speed settings. Position the control to discharge air at A/C vents in...

    Tell me your experience with any of those tires

    I would second the BFG KDW recommendation. I am on my third set (second set on this car) and when these wear out I will buy another set. KDW stands for K=Key Feature D=Dry Traction W=Wet Traction They have a very stiff sidewall for good lateral stability. Here is a link to the...

    What?!?! Magnet mod?!....

    A lot of oil pan drain plugs have a magnet in them. Again, to remove metal particles from the oil.

    What?!?! Magnet mod?!....

    Completely different reason. The magnet is there to catch metal particles to prevent them from getting back into the tranny. Geez I can't believe this thread hasn't died yet. What a waste of bandwidth :nonono:

    zaino review

    Occaisional Dawn use isn't going to hurt anything. Given that I don't think I have ever used Dawn on my GT as automotive car wax doesn't really build up. We aren't talking floor wax here guys. I am also skeptical that Clay removes wax. If you want to ensure that you are starting with a clean...

    What?!?! Magnet mod?!....

    You would be amazed at how your seat of the pants dyno is affected by wishful thinking :D Don't buy it without a dyno pull to confirm the results.

    mid-2001 GT or not?

    An even easier way is to look at either cam cover, there should be a sticker on it that shows where and when the motor was built. On Romeo motors which would be the latter 01 motor it will say REP for Romeo Engine Plant and for Windsor motors which would be the very early 01 motors it should...
